Description
The Niccolò Paganini® rose perfectly embodies the passion and elegance of its famous violinist namesake. Like a lively melody, its flowering rhythm graces the garden from spring to autumn. Its intense, deep, and luminous red roses form sumptuous clusters highlighted by lush green foliage. Disease-resistant and exceptionally robust, it excels in flowerbeds and its cut flowers are stunning in floral arrangements.
The Niccolò Paganini® 'Meicairma' rose is a creation by Meilland dating back to 1991. This shrub rose belongs to the Rosaceae family and the Floribunda group, known for their cluster-style flowering throughout the season. It has been awarded the Great Rose of the Century Medal and was honoured in Lyon as the most beautiful rose in France. Dedicated to the Italian virtuoso nicknamed 'the Devil's Violinist', this rose reflects all the talent and brilliance of its namesake. The Niccolò Paganini® rose has a bushy, dense, and well-branched habit, reaching a height of 70 to 90 cm and a spread of 40 to 50 cm. Its thorny sturdy stems support glossy green foliage that remains healthy and decorative throughout the season. Measuring approximately 8 cm in diameter, the flowers are turbinate in shape and formed of 35 to 40 petals of a vivid red with velvety hues. They exude a light and delicate fragrance. The flowering period from May until the first frosts provides a continuous spectacle. The deciduous foliage renews each spring and disappears every winter.
The Niccolò Paganini® 'Meicairma' rose makes a striking addition to exuberant flower beds where colours and textures boldly intertwine. In a somewhat theatrical setting, it will pair beautifully with the lush clumps of a Dahlia ‘Bishop of Llandaff’ with its scarlet-red flowers and dark foliage. Nearby, the swaying red spikes of a Miscanthus sinensis 'Red Chief' will add movement, while a Canna ‘Tarouking’ will intensify the arrangement with its variegated foliage and orange-red flowers. This combination will create a vibrant and whimsical flower bed where each plant plays its part.
Planting and care
To plant your Niccolò Paganini rose, prepare the soil by digging a 30 cm cube, breaking up the earth well and adding a base fertiliser such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Place your plant after removing it from its pot, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm of soil. Backfill and water thoroughly to eliminate any air pockets. In dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root development. Also consider feeding your rose with a special rose fertiliser to stimulate flowering.
Roses often develop spots or look unsightly by late summer, but this does not affect their growth. These spots are not harmful to the plant; it's a natural phenomenon. Follow all our advice to address this issue and read our article: Help! My Roses Have Spots

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
